He is expected to launch a policy blitz, including scrapping Sir Keir Starmer's controversial digital ID scheme and reportedly considering opening the door to more North Sea oil and gas drilling. Donald Trump reacted to reports of potential North Sea expansion, claiming Mr Burnham would open oil fields “all the way” and suggesting the people of Aberdeen were pleased. Burnham has said the country is “not in the right place” and plans to set out a ten-year vision for the UK, focusing on early investment and intervention. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is widely expected to be named Chancellor, a choice causing some tension among left-wing Labour MPs due to her past stance on tax and welfare cuts.
